In this episode, we converse with Dr. Stephanie Conn, a leading expert in police psychology and resilience training for first responders. With nearly three decades of experience, Dr. Conn brings a wealth of knowledge to the table, especially from her newly updated book, "Increasing Resilience in Police & Emergency Personnel." We explore groundbreaking topics like nervous system regulation, innovative peer support practices, biohacks, and the latest in sleep science—all aimed at enhancing performance under pressure. Discover how first responders can combat trauma, burnout, and moral injury in an ever-demanding environment. Plus, we tackle the stigmas around wellness in the first responder community. How can we transform perceptions of meditation, breath work, and yoga from "woo-woo" to transformative? Buckle up for an enlightening conversation that blends science, practical strategies, and a unique perspective on the mental battles rescuers face every day.
In this powerful episode of Beneath the Helmet, retired Fire Chief and coach Arjuna George sits down with Dr. Stephanie Conn, a licensed psychologist, former police officer, and author of Increasing Resilience in Police and Emergency Personnel. Together, they dive deep into the essential tools and strategies that help firefighters, police officers, paramedics, and public safety leaders stay strong, connected, and resilient. Stephanie shares her incredible journey from dispatch to officer to psychologist, revealing how early exposure to trauma shaped her mission to build better peer support teams and transform mental health care for first responders. From lessons learned in the field to groundbreaking research on hope, resilience, and TRE (Tension and Trauma Release Exercises), this conversation uncovers what really works to protect those who protect us.
Building resilience is possible. We talk about how it's done.
